I don't agree with you that Russian has no dialects.There are differences in the pronounciation and in the choice of words.Educated people tend to use more words of latin origin,whereas rural people use Slavic ones which in many occasions are not widely used.In some countries these local variations would be considered entirely different languages.(see Serbian and Croatian) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Has not been my experience. I remember when I took Latin in HS, everyone automatically assumed it was strictly to enhance my English. Almost as if it was some magically understood concept. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

My dad always says "I still don't understand why you didn't take Spanish" and I respond saying the teachers are horrible, because everyone at my school says that :/ But Latin has helped me with Spanish (now that I started learning it) and with some English 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

For example the word молоко is pronounced malako' in official russian but in some places it is pronounced moloko'. Another example is the glottal sound close to greek 'γ' which is used in south russia instead of г. The word город (go'rat) is pronounced γo'rat. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Actually you should not pronounce the word «milk» as мАлАко in standard Russian as well :) Unstressed O is normally pronounced intermediately between O and A. Sound files could be helpful to learn the pronunciation properly. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

The international phonetic alphabet could help.I think the unstressed O is pronounced like an upside down 'e' in the IPA. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||
